I tried to update my computer to Windows XP and I couldn't finish the update because there was a missing "COMMAND.COM" file. I copied the filed using a Windows 98 bootdisk I downloaded from the internet. Now I get another error and it looks like this:

The following file is missing or corrupted: C:\WINDOWS\HIMEN.SYS There is an error in your CONFIG.SYS file on line 6

The following file is missing or corrupted: C:\CDROM\OAKCDROM.SYS There is an error in your CONFIG.SYS file on line 7

The following file is missing or corrupted: C:\WINDOWS\HIMEN.SYS

The following file is missing or corrupted: C:\WINDOWS\DBLBUFF.SYS

The following file is missing or corrupted: C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS

C:\>REM [Home Series] Cannot find WIN.COM, unable to continue loading windows

I tried to copy the WIN.COM file from the same bootdisk, but apparently the file is not on the bootdisk. What do I do? Please help! Thanks.
